After almost a month break I hit the woods today. Went to a previously hunted spot with a friend. I put one or two Indians in my pouch, not expecting much since I’ve been to this location with few other good diggers. But after an hour of pulling nails a good signal: first came out a seated 1851 dime

Then a little down the slope, another silver... a merc.
10 feet away another... a 1906 Barber dime.

Things got quiet again and on our way out we decided to do one more circle around the hot spot. Glad we did, I got a faint signal and out came a small white (silver) disc.
Quick rinse and a 1853 seated half dime saw light once again.

I poked around with my detector and another signal appeared, another seated half dime (worn). I then took my shovel and widened and deepened the hole, and more coins started to show, another seated dime, followed by two capped Bust dimes!!! Once I pulled them I widened the hole again to find 2 large cents stuck together

So totals for today are 8 silvers, dime quad-fecta (merc, barber, seated and capped bust), 2 largies, 4 indians and buffalo nickel.

I'm bumping this up again, I haven't even found a silver capped dime, you must not have any followers or people don't realize how hard it is to find seated and especially capped!

I know how hard it is to find seated. Starting in the mid 1980's, I WISH I knew how hard it is to find capped. Grats and thanks for posting.
